Research shows breathing can change our exteroceptive and affective perception, but how does this work? Pleased to share our latest study, led by Malthe Brændholt w/ Daniel Kluger, where we investigated the cognitive mechansims using computational modeling! biorxiv.org/content/10.110… 🧵👇

How good are we at knowing what we would think and do if our beliefs were different? In a new preprint with Chaz Firestone and Ian Phillips, we use pretense behavior to show that the answer is *remarkably good* osf.io/preprints/psya…

Excited to share our paper in Nature Human Behaviour! Using electrochemical recordings in PD patient volunteers undergoing DBS surgery, we show that dopamine and serotonin in the substantia nigra track social context and value signals during the ultimatum game nature.com/articles/s4156…

Happy to finally share the full article for our lab's new pub by Ofer Perl et al in Nat Mental Health!

We show that nicotine-related beliefs can modulate neural dynamics in a *dose-dependent* way in humans --> addiction is more than just pharmacology 🧐

In this article, Dan Bang et al. show that dopamine and serotonin measured during awake brain surgery track social context and value statistics in an economic game with human and computer partners. CFIN 🧠 Fralin Biomedical Research Institute Xiaosi Gu Friedman Brain Institute

New paper in Cell w/ Caroline I Jahn on how the brain learns to control attention in a changing environment! Attention is learned incrementally from reward, and it maps stimuli into a generalized value space to guide decisions in many settings. 🧵cell.com/cell/fulltext/…

🚨🚨 New Wassum Lab Paper Alert 🚨🚨

How does the brain enable the learning we need to make adaptive decisions?
Is dopamine involved?

Dr. Ana Sias & team discovered answers. Read on to find out. 🧵👇🏻

Published today in Nature Neuroscience

My final postdoc paper is 'finally' out and published in NatNeu. I consider this the best work I have been involved in. Here, we present evidence of a systematic change in how the striatal dopamine signal integrates reward time horizons.
